We're comin to get ya!
will they be the worst NBA champion of the last 20 years? This is not that good of a team. Kobe is great, no question. But Pau Gasol at center? Lamar Odom at power forward? Derek Fisher at starting point guard? Sasha effing Vujacic? Give me a ing break! My Blazers of the early 90's would crush these guys! I can't wait until next year when my boys expose them for the frauds that they are!

Why? If they win the championship ,they'll be going through the defending champs. They would've survived the toughest western conference in recent memory and be facing a very formidable opponent in the finals. I would say the Spurs championship run last year was far easier.
Your team is irrelevant until proven otherwise.
This distinction will for all time belong to the 2006 Miami Heat (52-30), who don't even deserve their le.
I agree, this is not a very strong team compared to past NBA Champions. Somehow they are getting it done though.
Regardless whoever wins the le, this season wasn't as great as it was hyped up for.
Any team with Kobe and Phil will never get that distinction. What's going to happen is the perception of guys like Gasol ,Odom, Vujacic, Turiaf etc. will be drastically better.
These Lakers are better than the Heat. In a weird way, I think we're seeing parity in the NBA, at least at the top. Lots of very, very good teams, but no one team looks completely and historically dominant.
No question though that the Lakers have looked the best of all teams so far in the postseason. They'll probably go on to win the le.
I think the Spurs have had to play 3 WCF level opponents in the first three rounds.... i think if the spurs go on to win it... it will be a far more impressive road to victory than the lakers'.
in my eyes utah isnt a WCF level opponent... even though they were there last year... going through houston and the 8th seeded warriors didnt really count as a challenge.
The Heat were the worst Champs ever.
Then the Spurs championship run last year was a joke. You beat these same Nuggets that most Spurs fans thought were nothing impressive. You beat a Phoenix Suns team that plays no defense. You beat these same Jazz with even less experience and you beat an absolutely pitiful Cavs team.
If you lay it out this way, what about MJ's first Finals team in '91? Pippen was an All-Star for the first time that season and the other starters were Bill Cartwright, Horace Grant, and John Paxson.
I hope pistons win it all
THe Lakers were the best team in the toughest Western Conference in history.
They are schooling the Spurs whom of which won the le last year. So by default, this thread is stupid considering they are much better than the 2007 Spurs.
LOL @ thinking the Lakers survived the toughest western conference in history.
You can thank the spurs for that.
hahahahaha
That is a re ed statement. Both teams matched up extremley well against the spurs, and the hornets were downright scary.
Did you really have any inkling of doubt that your team would reach the WCF against the Drunk Nuggets, and the Utah Jazz with a sleeping boozer? GMAFB
Hate to break if to you this way but...ummm...number 1 seeds usually have an easier road.....THAT'S WHY THEY FIGHT SO DAMN HARD FOR IT.
U mean when this team went up on the champs 3-1....
Or
Next year when you deal with this line up...
(lol)
Fisher
Kobe
Odom
Gasol
Bynum
Oh and off the bench...
Turiaf, Sasha, Farmar, Walton, etc etc etc
That team is going to win multiple rings, just you wait and cry....
Kenny Smith said, he cannot recall a time or a place in NBA history where the WEST was so brutal as it is this year, there were no easy nights, no easy games...
What a stupid thread.....
if you win, you win. any discussion as to how easy the path....too ing bad for all the other teams. What's their excuse?
to any team that wins, they earned it.........any year, any time.
When the Lakers had their threepeat, their compe ion was the Spurs (who one year did not have Duncan - it was Pre-Manu and Parker was a rookie in 2002) and the Kings. They beat the 76s, Pacers, and Nets. The Lakers were a wonderful team from 2000 to 2002, but that compe ion was probably not as good as it is now. Shaq and Kobe trumped everything intil 2003.
